Former adult film star and social media personality Mia Khalifa has sparked outrage after posting a video mocking U.S. military members and wishing them Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) upon their return. The video, which has since been deleted, was a sarcastic critique of the U.S. government’s treatment of veterans, alleging they are sent to fight wars they have no stake in and are ultimately disregarded.
In the video, Khalifa specifically targeted U.S. troops deployed overseas, stating, “I hope you go over there and get your little brain all scrambled up with PTSD and come back here and see how much the United States cares about you.” She then mocked the Veterans Affairs (VA) system, claiming they would only offer veterans breathing exercises to deal with their mental health issues.
Khalifa’s comments came shortly after U.S. troops were deployed to the Middle East amidst regional tensions, and her video garnered over 3 million views before its removal. Although she didn’t explicitly mention the recent deployment, her remarks are consistent with her outspoken anti-war stance and past criticism of U.S. foreign policy.
While Khalifa has been vocal in her support for Palestinians and has made controversial comments about the Israel-Palestine conflict, she clarified in a recent interview with The New York Times that she believes “Palestinians resisting Israeli occupation are fighting for their freedom, similar to the fall of the Berlin Wall.”
Despite her explanation, Khalifa’s video has drawn widespread backlash, with many criticizing her for making light of PTSD and the sacrifices made by U.S. military personnel. This latest controversy adds to a list of past controversies surrounding Khalifa, who has faced criticism for her political views and past career.
